Paraprosdoskian

Accidental learning alert!!

'A paraprosdokian is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to reframe or reinterpret the first part. It is frequently used for humorous or dramatic effect, sometimes producing an anticlimax. For this reason, it is extremely popular among comedians and satirists.

Some paraprosdokians not only change the meaning of an early phrase, but they also play on the double meaning of a particular word, creating a form of syllepsis.'

Throughout this post I'll be trying to put this to use~...Err they'll be the statements in bold. Most will be anticlimatic, but whatever, I'm not a comedian and/or a satirist...I do not comede (gosh that's lame)

It's been just over two weeks since I finished my last HSC exam and now, and only now, have I finally become a fully-fledged night crawler. Why could I've not had this power before? Maybe you haven't noticed but most of my latest posts deal with stuff that happens rather late and night; sometimes I even blog very late at night~ This isn't a good thing as I would really like to abide by the motto: "I sleep eight hours a day and at least ten at night." to lead a healthier lifestyle because right now I'm waking up and sleeping at random times and intervals and it's very tiring D= Have you ever woken up more tired than when you went to bed? Well this is happening to me wayyy too often. 

I've been home these past few days just reorganising my life. Zac and Ben! JUDGE ME NO MORE. I HAVE CLEANED UP MY ROOM! I bet most of you now have a job and I'm still looking and preparing my resume. As Zac says, 'on a completely unrelated note' Confucius say: if you give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day but if you teach him to fish he'll eat forever. I'd like to be able to eat forever =) I'd also like to learn how to actually fish. I've never been fishing before ><' So much to accomplish before uni starts (top of my list atm):

-get a job (I'm gonna need an epic resume. Is anyone willing to send me their resume? o''o) "A modest man, who has much to be modest about."

-learn guitar

-learn basic jap

-read all HP books again

-get P's

I actually have a lot more to post about except everything has slipped my mind. Omgsh. Early onset of dementia. So I'll just leave it here before I waffle on anymore~

Goodnight!

Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs octopus! Yeh I suck at this paraprosdoskian thing~
